Residents of Gidan Mangoro have commended the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for providing free healthcare services to their community.
The traditional ruler of the community, Alhaji Musa Magaji, gave the commendation during the second edition of the 2025 NYSC Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers (HIRD). “I am very happy with this programme. The government has come here a few times, but we have never had anything like this. This NYSC health outreach is different. God bless them,” Magaji said.
He described the initiative as timely and impactful, noting that many residents struggle to access healthcare due to a lack of facilities and an overstretched community health centre.
Magaji also lauded the corps members for not only offering consultations and treatment but also educating residents on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.
